We have a few hundred VM's and we're using tags, its pretty easy to work with and we have a way of setting it up.
For example A-Customer123, B-PROD, C-SQL, D-Backup-Delta-WeeklySo if I need to find prod servers of customer 123 I just filter on those tags, super easy.
How are you handling your SQL workloads at backup time? Since the existing drivers aren't SQL aware, isn't that causing issues or are you using something different to backup the SQL database separately?
We use an in-guest agent to backup SQL, Ahsay or Veeam.
The VM backup includes the database, but since we dont do memory backup-snapshots its not 100% so we're backing the SQL up separately.
